People from all over are flocking to the 130-mile long Northeast Texas Trail, and Reno resident and trail enthusiast Kelly Whitley and her family could not be more excited.
âIâve always been an outdoors-seeking kinda gal,â the secretary of the Northeast Texas Trail Coalition said while talking about her enthusiasm. âMy dream is to get out of my house just a short distance away from here and ride my bike down this trail and be able to go to Farmersville or New Boston for the weekend.â
For the past 20 years, thanks to men like Coalition President Earl Erickson of Paris, what once was a railroad bed is being cleared, bridges repaired and a hard surface applied. About 70% of the trail is improved to at least a phase 1 level with pedestrian gates, improved drainage, signage, restored bridges and surface grading, Whitley said.
